I was Chris' wife/caregiver & this is the medical blog I wrote during his treatment. Short history: dx in July 2010, no initial bone marrow involvement, did 5 rounds hyper-cvad protocol. Found out he is in relapse/refractory status with involvement in his chest, spleen, inguinal & throat lymph nodes, bone marrow, spine & brain in January 2011 when we went to MD Anderson for treatment. The two different rounds of chemo Chris got at MDA could not put him in remission; he died of leukemia/lymphoma on March 18th, 2011, an astonishing and horrific 8 months after his diagnosis.

update

He had spinal tap chemo today and it went fine.  He is nearly done with the mandatory 4 hours of laying flat time that is required after the procedure.  Good thing because he is about to chew his arm off! 
He is in room 7026 @ St. Francis if anyone wants to send an online card to him.
